@#2 Lois Griffiths<br />Many thanks for your comment.<br /><br />We published this book in conjunction with Barefoot Books. In fact they originated all the content but we felt it had many so many positive aspects, particularly in relation to the environment and ecological issues, that we thought it merited an edition to sell to our own customers.<br /><br />This point about Palestine and a number of others (relating to other occupied countries/territories and naming of certain countries) were raised when the book was being written. In the end Barefoot Books followed the style of the Times Atlas of the World.<br /><br />This is a matter that we are pursuing further and will ensure any reprint we do includes the appropriate amendments.Tue, 12 Feb 2013 10:33:24 GMThttp://www.newint.org/books/maps-and-atlases/barefoot-books-world-atlas/index.html#comment3Lois Griffithshttp://www.newint.org/books/maps-and-atlases/barefoot-books-world-atlas/index.html#comment2
A very colourful book. but I am very upset that Israel is presented as one country, ignoring the internationally recognized Occupied Territories . The book also shows Jerusalem as the capital of Israel when internationally Tel Aviv is the capital.<br />Very bad. ps I have been doing volunteer work for the New Internationalist in NZ for many years. I expect better respect for international law than this.Tue, 12 Feb 2013 00:40:41 GMThttp://www.newint.org/books/maps-and-atlases/barefoot-books-world-atlas/index.html#comment2Elizabeth Mounthttp://www.newint.org/books/maps-and-atlases/barefoot-books-world-atlas/index.html#comment1
